and that tray makes so much more sense. the one on the Eagnas is too low. my old back cannot bend that much anymore!

the string also wraps around the tray every so often. the Gamma 6004 one is also similar in setup. i am actually considering not installing it.

btw, can you measure the size of your tool tray for me? do you find it sufficient in size?

Man, your guys all have these fancy tool trays. My M140 does not come with any tool trays at all. So, I use a clean chinese food take out box (use to be for peking duck :-D) for the tool tray. Of course, since M140 is a portable machine, I simply just put the tray on the same table, next to the machine.

FYI, this crazy dude actually took that orange piece to AE so it can be signed...

Alan was beaming like a happy bunny when he said to me that he got autographs from the players^^.

Anyways, pardon for the messy room and grainy pictures. This is my set-up.

Front View

The turn-table with Michal Sideposts taped with Graps to prevent strings grazing the sideposts at a certain angles. Clamps are W&D 5-tooth Universal Clamps (I actually have 2 sets, 1 for 0.70mm to 0.68mm another for 0.62mm to 0.66mm. It saves me from turning the knob on the clamp which are quite troublesome sometimes. Bought an extra set by mistake previously and decided to keep it.) Load spreaders are placed on both North and South towers but with the North tower's stock padding sawed to accommodate to stringing the top string of rackets.

A closer look at the tray, 2 Yonex Flying Clamps, 1 String mover, 1 Plier, 1 Cutter (These are the equipment I use to string regularly).

I also have a pair of superfine precision tweezers, an awl which I rarely ever use, Allen key for tightening of the base clamps and also another set of Load spreaders (Coloured version) from MBS that are sawed off to fit 96 holes rackets' head as the normal ones do not fit the rackets. These are all in the tray as well but are not in the shot.
